At our most recent event the bridesmaids asked me how to keep the sling backs of their shoes from slipping down. Luckily, I thought of a creative solution… Fashion Tape! We bring a huge emergency kit to every project and in it is alway an ample supply of the sticky stuff. It turns out a small piece on the back of your heel will keep that pesky sling in place for your walk down the aisle. We buy ours at Ricky’s– one of my favorite stores, but that is a subject for another blog…

I know it’s hard to believe but, before we know it there will be a chill in the air. If you are planning a fall wedding you may be a bit worried about the cool evenings. One of our brides provided inexpensive pashiminas, like the ones at http://googdot.com/pashmina.html for all of the female guests. Not only did everyone appreciate the thoughtful gesture, it also looked beautiful in the photos to see everyone draped in the wedding colors.

I have loved the crystal chandelier trend as much as the next girl, but I am always looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve. I found this chandelier on one of my favorite sites www.jamaligarden.com. They aren’t cheap, but a few of these placed in the right spots would create a one of a kind mid-century look.

For almost as long as I’ve owned A. Dominick Events, I have dreamed of a raw space to throw parties in DC. I found out recently, my dreams have come true. Long View Gallery has just opened on 9th street. To be clear, they are booking parties, but it will take a bit of imagination to envision your party there. It is essentially an empty concrete space that will be an art gallery by day and a venue for events at night. With room to seat 200 with dancing and an in house LED lighting system, I think I have died and gone to heaven. Contact Suzi Molak (202) 232-4788 to see the space, or better yet, call me and we can daydream about your party there together.

Thanks so much for checking out our new website (and blog). We are very excited about both!! While working on the new design it has been wonderful to look back at our work and now we can share more with you. Please look around, tell with your friends and get inspired for your next party!
